Ventura County sheriff's officials say a veteran deputy has been struck by a car and killed during a freeway traffic stop, and a drunken-driving suspect has been arrested.

Officials say the deputy pulled a vehicle over around 1:15 a.m. Tuesday on U.S. 101 in Camarillo and then was struck by another vehicle.

Sgt. Eugene Kostiuchenko, 41, died at the scene. He was an 11-year department veteran and is survived by a wife and two sons.

The car that struck him sped off and eventually crashed as deputies gave chase. The driver, a 25-year-old Camarillo resident, was captured and arrested on suspicion of driving drunk. Officials say more charges are possible.
